graduation

Dad in his cap and gown.

Me with my friend Jenny at the graduation ceremony.

Lilly at the ceremony.

Me driving the go cart. And no, if you're wondering, I am definitely NOT in my pj's + robe. I mean, what crazy person would drive a go cart in the PJ'S?? *couch* me *cough*

I am soo sorry it has been so long since I last wrote! I am lapsing into the world's laziest girl blogger again....anway, on with the show!

From Thursday to Saturday night, we were in St. Louis for my dad's ordination. Some of our friends from the sem live about 1 hour or so away (from St. Louis), and we stayed with them.

They recently got a go cart - which I drove anytime I could. I've always wanted to drive one of those things! Within the 2 time I drove it, I was already going full speed. And almost crashed into a building. But don't worry, I didn't! I'm a more experienced driver now (yeah right, Carlotta. You had only been driving it for a day! Self - BE QUIET!!). Sorry about that. I'm getting a little carried away!

It was so. much. fun! to see all my old friends and everybody that we met from our time there. It was exactly 1 year to the day since I had seen my friend Emily (who I did Latin with - until she quit after 3 years. EMILY!!!!!! :) ), and I can't tell you how good, but kind of weird in a way, to see her! Lilly had an absolute blast being babied (is that even a word??) by all my friends. She was TOTALLY spoiled the whole trip!!

So now dad is officially graduated from the sem (but I do think he might have a few more papers to turn in). He's really glad. He said (about the seminary) that it was an extremely stressful time, but one of the most important decisions he's ever made in his life. We are all so proud of him!
